“Our government has taken its information from the wind industry, CanWEA, instead of doing its own homework. In fact, the first name on the first draft of the Green Energy Act, the act that stripped municipalities of any say in wind turbine installations, is OSEA, the Ontario Sustainable Energy Association, made up of mainly wind industry people.

“There is constant denial of adverse health effects from the wind industry and this government is allowing them to make those claims. What the wind industry uses to deny adverse health effects is engineering noise modeling and literature review. Neither the government nor the wind industry has a proper study on human beings by health professionals in spite of repeated requests for just this action from over 40 municipalities, the OFA, health units and hundreds of individuals.”

Risks of Industrial Wind Turbines is a group of citizens and organizations dedicated to preserve the public safety, property values, economic viability, environmental integrity and quality of life of residents and future generations.
